hi
due to working out and my increase in bodyweight i have stretch marks on my arms, armpits - side of chest, thighs, behind my knees and hips... ive been using a coco butter formula but it doesnt seem to be helping as these stretch marks are slowly getting worse. the slightest bit of growth and their there. i dont no what else to do.

also is there any kind of make up i can use to cover up my stretch marks at least were their visable?? preferably something waterproof and doesnt rub off on your clothes if not then leave your suggestions anyway. Thanks

Dream on my dear fella, women have been asking the same thing for years, due to stretch marks from pregnancy.

There may be something out there better than cocoa butter, not sure, I never found it.

Some consolation, stretch marks do sometimes fade with age, by then you won't really care whether they show or not.

Some certain type of laser treatments have been known to work if you get them done when they are still red.

There's some make up called derma blend. It is just for covering up blemishes, such as birth marks, stretch marks etc.. I get it from the make up counter at a department store but I bet you can get it off the internet.
